Former Central Square Middle School parent group treasurer charged with taking money

Central Square, NY -- A Cleveland woman has been accused of taking more than $3,000 from the PTO/PTA fund at Central Square Middle School.

Rebecca Gribbon, 43, of State Route 49 in Cleveland, was charged Feb. 29 with third-degree grand larceny, a felony.
